Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
71
I
then
walked
slowly
up
the
jettee.
When
I
reached
the
head
of
it,
I
took
off
my
hat
and
made
a
low
bow
towards
the
building,
to
show
the
Internals
that
I
had
some
sense
of
politeness.
No
one
appeared.
I
walked
slowly
up
the
sloping
lawn,
stopped,
looked
about
me,
and
bowed,
but
still
no
one
appeared
to
return
my
civilities.
I
walked
on,
and
had
arrived
within
one
hundred
yards
of
the
portico,
when
I
recollected,
that
when
Captain
Ross
was
impeded
in
his
progress
northward
by
the
northern
'icy
hoop,'
he
met
with
some
men
on
the
ice
who
told
him
they
came
from
the
north,
where
there
was
land
and
an
open
sea.
These
men
were
swarthy,
which
Capt.
Symmes
attributes
to
their
being
inhabitants
of
the
hot
regions
within
the
internal
polar
circle;
in
which
opinion
he
was
no
doubt
correct.
I
had
frequently
reflected
on
this
circumstance,
and
had
settled
the
matter
in
my
mind
that
they
were
stragglers
from
the
extreme
north
part
of
the
internal
regions;
and
could
not
but
consider
Capt.
Ross
as
a
very
unfit
person
for
an
exploring
expedition,
or
he
would
not
have
returned
without
ascertaining
where
those
men
came
from,
or
how
a
great
sea
could
exist
to
the
northward
of
the
'icy
hoop,'
through
fear
of
wintering
in
a
climate
where
he
saw
men
in
existence
who
had
passed
all
their
lives
there.
I
remembered
that
these
men
so
seen
by
Capt.
Ross,
saluted
him
by
pulling
their
noses;
and
surely
it
is
not
surprising
that
men,
inhabiting
such
different
positions
on
this
earth
as
the
inside
and
outside
of
it,
should
differ
so
much
as
to
consider
that
a
compliment
in
the
one
place,
which
is
deemed
an
insult
in
the
other.
Indeed
it
seemed
to
me
a
small
thing,
when
I
considered
how
widely
the
most
enlightened
of
the
externals
differ
in
opinion
upon
the
most
simple
propositions
of
religion,
politics,
and
political
economy.
